If I had to rank major cities in America from a tourist perspective I would place them in 4 categories. Exceptional, Interesting, convenient and just okay. If I didn’t list it it’s cause I haven’t visited or lived there. Exceptional: NYC, SF, CHI, D.C., NOLA, LA Interesting: PHI, LV, MIA, ATX Convenient: DFW, HOU, DAL, ATL, CHA, ORL Just okay: SATX, STL America only has 6 maybe 7 cities that are truly world class elite experiences. Those are the exceptional ones.
